The Mice-Skin Market.

The story goes that the fur-runner
has one section of Maine in which his
appearance on fur-buying trip is an
event. About everybody sells to him,
and he hasn't made many mistakes in
his buying. He cultivates this section.
He saves his best jokes and his fun
niest stories for this locality. Hence
his grip is good and he don't want to
lose it.
1t was after a successful expedition
into this section recently that the fur
runner fell talking Now, there is
danger when man falls a talking,
and on this day in question the peltry
king told yarns and talked about furs
and how money could be made and
lost in them. Said he to the listeners:
why don't you save up some mice
skins! The market is big on mice.
They are worth, lemme see-they are
worth about so a hundred" and then
he smiled complacently as man
spoke up and said: ''B' gosh, is that a
fact? Well. now, you bet we could
get bushel on 'em in week if we
was a mind to-" 1t was only just sort
of joke, and he went away forgetting
to remove the impression.
Several months passed and he went
back again, bargaining and buying.
He had traded for good many furs
when, in the course of the trade, the
seller said: THE boys has got lots
of mice skins for YOU" The buyer
looked wonderingly, and then up out
of the past came the vision of his pre-
vious iniquity. They have. have

reply. "Ten dollars hundred, and

1t was a sad fact. The industrious
| boys had fully that number of mice
skins stretched on boards. The buyer
had to invent something, and so he
said that the market had dropped off
over three-quarters since he was here
| before, and he ended by settling with
the boys for So bill. 1t would never

Phil Armour and the Pastor

A clergyman, who is pastor of small
church somewhere in the outlying sec
tons of the city, went to him one day
asking for contribution for a poor girl
who, he said, was sick and suffering for
the necessaries of life. She was so desti-
tute that she had been unable to buy
clothing for her new born babe, and was
even unable to buy the medicine which a
kind hearted doctor had prescribed. Mr..
Armour gave him $25 and sent him on
his way rejoicing, but was much sur
prised few hours later when the clergy
man returned and handed him his money,
saying that he had found, to his regret
that the child had been born out of wed
lock, and the case was, therefore, un.
worthy of his charity. Mr.. Armour wa
at first surprised, and then nearly lost his
temper. He called one of his clerks anC
told him to see that the clergyman lef
his Office and never returned. He theI
sent to his own house and directed tha
everything which a woman in this poo
woman's condition needed should be sen
her at once, and that the supply should
be continued till she was able to look on
for herself. Ny informant says tina
Mrs. Armour took the case in hand ant
looked after it until no further assistance
was needed. Chicago Mail.
